AVENTAGE

and the evolution continues...

When AVENTAGE was introduced in 2010, this new top rated AV receiver series represented a dramatic, inspired leap forward with best in class audio/video component design. AVENTAGE brought studio grade sound and sophisticated video enhancements to your home with unparalleled attention to detail in design, engineering and fabrication. Every electrical path, every part, every piece, was rethought and redesigned if necessary to achieve total performance excellence throughout the series. Materials were tested thoroughly and the finest were selected to maximize performance. Details that at first glance would not seem to affect the quality of sight, sound and control were brought together in AVENTAGE components and, in the end, produced a work of visual and acoustic art.

Double Bottom Construction

Additional bottom cover added for additional support and to improve sound performance at higher volume levels and also support the power transformer and heat sinks

Optimized Power Amplifier Layout

One of the many design details that combine to create a superior receiver. The interior of the unit has been precisely planned, circuit-routed and built so that the left and right channels are physically and electrically isolated, maximizing channel separation and greatly improving signal to noise ratio to achieve a wide, open sound stage.

Specially designed 5th Foot

The A.R.T. (Anti-Resonance Technology) Wedge fifth foot is in the center of the unit. It dampens vibrations from the power transformer, power transistors and heat sinks, as well as vibrations that might be caused by the sound from the speakers. The A.R.T. Wedge fifth foot helps ensure that vibrations do not affect the sound quality.

Hybrid power supply

Independent power supplies for the digital and analog circuit, resulting in less power consumption in the standby mode and a more efficient power transformer.

H-Shaped Cross-Member Frame

The interior of the receiver is reinforced with cross-members in an "H" shape to provide an extremely rigid and stable frame. This reduces chassis vibration to virtually zero even during high volume output maintaining the highest audio quality.

High quality DACs

Every part in an AV receiver can affect the sound quality. For the AVENTAGE models, extra time was spent to find and develop optimized parts, which were then extensively tested in prototype units. This testing process allowed our sound technicians to effectively tune the receiver’s sound to achieve the highest possible performance.

Zip Ties To Ground

Minimizes magnetic interference as well as reduces unwanted radio frequency interference.

Yamaha Built

Our receivers are too important to outsource; we design, manufacture and assemble them in Yamaha-owned facilities. The AVENTAGE series comes with a 50% longer warranty period (three year warranty).

Custom Designed Parts

Yamaha’s R&D team took a granular look at every design aspect, including circuitry, construction, components, volume and sound reproduction qualities—even eco-friendly considerations for power consumption.

High Grade Terminals

High quality, heavier grade to help reduce vibration. Wide spacing was achieved for easier cable connections of speaker wires.

Best In Class Processors

Enhanced Virtual Presence

CINEMA DSP 3D provides a wide, high and dense sound field. HD Audio format decoding lets you enjoy HD Audio sources. Virtual Presence Speakers deliver 3D sound without the use of actual front presence speakers. CINEMA DSP HD3 (RX-A3010, RX-A3000) takes the surround sound experience to new heights by using four CINEMA DSP engines with advanced 3D processing and two front presence channels in a 9.2-channel configuration, giving the sound field an enhanced vertical dimension for more realistic and exciting movie sound.

Yamaha Automated Calibration

Yamaha Parametric Acoustic Optimizer (YPAO) is a simple, automatic way to optimize your speakers performance for your room. Yamaha’s YPAO system uses a small microphone and sophisticated equalization to automatically set the best sound for any room, no matter where the speakers are placed.

AV Controller APP for select Yamaha Network Products

The AV Controller App will turn your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad into a Wi-Fi enabled remote control for select Yamaha network products. This app provides the flexibility to control input, volume, mute and power commands. The Yamaha AV Controller App is a free download from the iTunes App store. An Android app is also available.
